Join this ROO Pocket tutorial by Australian designer Liz Haywood!
Liz Haywood is a former industry pattern maker who enjoys home sewing. For her, pockets are essential feature for any garment and an important part of living on a rural property. She never leaves the house without a pocket knife, a handkerchief, and a hair tie - and she never wears clothes without pockets! The ROO hanging pocket was designed to provide pockets for clothes that don’t have them, or replace the pathetically small pockets found on others. It was inspired by historical tie-on pockets that women wore under their clothes. Liz’s modern version is a gusseted, cargo-style pocket designed to be worn on the outside.
